Where are you not free?

Peter Crone once said - "Life will present you with people and circumstances to reveal where you're not free."

It’s Monday, and thinking about the week ahead can feel daunting, right? The meetings, the deadlines, the unexpected hiccups - it’s easy to feel overwhelmed before the week even begins.

But what if it didn’t have to be that way?

What if you flipped the script and saw every obstacle as an opportunity in disguise?

Every challenge that comes our way - whether it’s a difficult conversation with a colleague, a project not going as planned, or an unexpected setback - is actually a mirror. These moments reflect back to us where we still have work to do, where we are holding onto resistance, and where we are not yet free.

Instead of resisting what comes up, what if we leaned in? What if, instead of frustration, we brought curiosity? What if, instead of seeing setbacks as roadblocks, we saw them as stepping stones?

In the week ahead, try shifting your perspective with these simple reframes:

🔹 Replace frustration with curiosity – Instead of asking, “Why is this happening to me?” ask, “What is this teaching me?”

🔹 See setbacks as stepping stones – Every challenge carries a lesson that, once learned, moves you closer to where you want to be.

🔹 Notice emotional triggers – When something stirs up resistance, ask yourself, “Where am I not free?” This awareness is the first step toward growth.

Imagine starting the week with a mindset that welcomes challenges instead of dreading them. Imagine feeling empowered instead of drained. Imagine recognizing that every situation -good or bad - is happening for you, not to you.

This shift isn’t about toxic positivity or pretending everything is easy. It’s about realising that freedom comes from within and that every challenge is an invitation to claim more of it.

So as you step into this week, ask yourself: How different could my experience be if I embraced this mindset?
